Throughout his artistic journey, Alex has delved into various projects, both commissioned and personal, showcasing his versatility and skill in digital painting and design.
Inspired by renowned artists like James Gurney, Marc Dalessio, John Berkey, and Michael Malm, Alex honed his craft under the mentorship of experienced individuals such as Rob Adamson, Tom Howard, and Lester Lee.
